Vulgar

The vulgar is a monster encountered in Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. It resembles an imp although there are some bodily differences. Vulgars have only two eyes that have an orange glow. They are slightly shorter and have a -like frame as opposed to that of a human. Due to this, they move on all four legs but will sometimes stand up on their hind legs when angered. Unlike the imp, they sport a long tail, their bellies have small insect-like limbs attached to them, and their lower jaw is designed like an insect's mandibles. Unlike all other monsters, a vulgar's spawning cloud is cyan rather than orange. They have a mechanical-like growl that they emit with each attack and are capable of crawling on walls and other surfaces.

Notably, as the imp was the most prevalent demon in the original game, the vulgar is easily the most present demon with the most appearances throughout the expansion.

Combat characteristics
The vulgar can be viewed as an upgrade over the imp, having more health and more dangerous attacks. Its plasma ball attack, which visually resembles the Hell knight's projectile, is fired with less delay than the imp's, making them more difficult to dodge. It can perform a leap attack with almost no warning. However, the vulgar throws its plasma balls in a lower arc than the imp's fireballs; as a result, they travel in a straighter line and are easier to grab with the grabber; firing their own plasma balls back at them with the grabber is probably the best way to defeat vulgars, capable of killing them in one hit. Otherwise, the machine gun is adequate for the task. Their other attacks consist of leaps and claw slashing.

Development
The model used for the vulgar was originally planned to appear in Doom 3, as the arch-vile. A picture of it appeared in the December 2002 issue of PC Gamer magazine. Differences in the model from its appearance as the vulgar included use of an upright walking pose, and orange glowing eyes.
